Location: Halewood C of E Primary School
At Halewood C of E Primary School, we are seeking to appoint a passionate and dedicated teacher to join our team as a member of the Senior Leadership Team and lead our SEND provision as SENDCo.
Our Christian vision—“Train up a child in the way they should go, and when they are old, they will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6)—is central to all that we do. It shapes our decisions, our relationships, and our unwavering commitment to every child. Our core values—friendship, forgiveness, hope, thankfulness, perseverance and responsibility—are not simply words, but lived experiences that define our school culture.
We are deeply committed to nurturing children who understand the importance of loving their neighbour as God loves us. Through strong role modelling, high expectations and a culture of care, we aim for every child to leave Halewood with these values embedded, ready to flourish and make a positive difference in the world.
We are looking for an exceptional classroom practitioner who is driven to secure the very best outcomes for all pupils. This role is rooted in high-quality teaching; you will demonstrate the highest standards in the classroom, modelling excellent practice and ensuring all pupils make strong progress.
As SENDCo and a member of the Senior Leadership Team, you will also play a pivotal role in shaping inclusive practice across the school. You will be passionate about removing barriers to learning, championing vulnerable learners, and ensuring that every child—regardless of need—can succeed and thrive. You will lead, support and challenge colleagues to deliver high-quality, adaptive teaching that meets the needs of all learners.
This role offers an exciting opportunity for a talented practitioner to lead with purpose, influence whole-school improvement, and make a lasting impact on the lives of children and families.

At Halewood C of E Primary School we serve the community by providing a happy, secure, and caring Christian environment where all are valued and respected. We believe in the uniqueness of the individual and recognise the diversity and range of contributions that each can make.
We aim to provide for the spiritual, emotional, physical, mental, and social, development of the whole child; this includes a growth in knowledge and understanding of self, and the world in which we live. We seek to foster self-esteem and a sense of responsibility to others and the world around. In all that we do we endeavour to provide a high quality of education within a creative, stimulating, encouraging and mutually supportive environment where children are enabled to develop the
skills they require for living.
Halewood C of E Primary is a popular and successful school. As a Church of England school, our Christian values, underpin all that we do, and we have close links with two local churches. We joined LDST in October 2017 to deepen these links and to continue to improve the education we provide to our children. We are very proud to have been judged Good with Outstanding features in our latest Ofsted inspection. Our staff are committed to raising standards for all pupils. They pride themselves in working effectively together, and in partnership with parents, to provide a caring and supportive learning environment.
We want children to enjoy their education and develop an enthusiasm for
learning and so have designed a curriculum that allows children to become confident and fluent with powerful knowledge and vocabulary, as well as providing a wealth of opportunities to develop their strengths and talents. Children are taught in such a way that they acquire knowledge that they can take with them for the rest of their lives, knowledge that they can use when articulating themselves, or when reading and solving problems.
Challenging opportunities to apply knowledge are embedded throughout our curriculum. Progressively planned learning enables children to constantly apply prior knowledge and build upon it.
We are proud of our school and encourage you to visit our website and X/Twitter page to help you with the application and get a further feel for our school community.
